The Richardson — Restaurant in New York

I had to drop off my laptop at a computer repair shop near The Richardson. Since it was a pleasant August night, I decided to not cook and order appetizers from The Richardson and a glass of wine.. I have passed by this bar so many times but never checked them out. I ordered the hummus platter, smokey pigs in a blanket and an olive medley. The French wine I ordered was very good.it actually was recommended by the bartender Steve. Hayley my server was so nice and friendly. She was very courteous and so professional. It was a pleasure meeting her. I had a wonderful time at The Richardson.,it was so relaxing being there, and I enjoyed the music...Hayley informed me that The Richardson was celebrating 14 years of being in business. I can see why they have been open for 14 years, as the staff there are so friendly , and the outside seating is nicely set up. Whenever in Williamsburg Brooklyn NY, check out The Richardson located on Graham Ave and...

I'm not sure why this place didn't pop up on my radar sooner! A friend of mine, from out of town (Chicago no less) had to tell me about it. He suggested we meet up on one his fly-bys and I obliged.

The bourbon and whiskey list is EXTENSIVE. If you're an aficionado of either, I challenge you to think of something they might not have. I bet you they'll have it. If you're not into whiskey/bourbon they have cocktails too. They've also got a solid menu of food an snacks.

The setup is a really classy looking bar with clean woodwork. The dining area is pretty open spaced. The tables didn't look too close together. I would say this is an excellent date spot. Take a look around the corner to the back of the establishment and you'll find a smaller room with a pool table. We migrated there the moment we found it.

I could keep going on about the service (STELLAR) and the tasty drinks but the bottom line is that you need to go! Grab your inner circle and...

Gorgeous bar, expansive indoor and outdoor space. The food is on the small side, but yummy. Although perhaps a bit overpriced for things like a dip or tinned fish. Drinks were good!

The reason for the two stars is our odd experience being shushed by a waiter. It was early Saturday evening, and there was one table full inside along with three people at the bar, and our table of 6. We were certainly the loudest people in there, but to have just paid a bill of almost $200 and then have a man tell us that we were too loud and ask us to be quiet? It felt infantilizing. Scolding your customers isn’t something that makes me want to come back nor is it good customer service, particularly when the place is more than half empty...
